Big H* Posted October 23, 2012 Share Compressor has been added to my list for the workshop. what I really "NEED" is a metal lathe and milling machine I have an EMCO Unimat 3 lathe with a milling attachment. I made a dropout for one of our Tandems in 2002 that we are still using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vetseun Posted October 23, 2012 Share I have an EMCO Unimat 3 lathe with a milling attachment. I made a dropout for one of our Tandems in 2002 that we are still using.My grandfather is 91. He has an emco star woodwoork machine, circular saw, band saw, sander, thicknesser, lathe and more. He has had that machine forever and it still works like a dream!

Vetseun Posted October 23, 2012 Share In short. The part that grips the bike is a pvc t piece that has been split and hinged. A clasp locks it. Inside is lined with that foam with the sticky backing .The adjustment is just two metal discs that are welded to the pipes. They are clamped by turning the handle that is attached to a piece of threaded bar. So you just tighten the handle at the desired angle. The tool bakkie is a crazy shop goodie .

Swift01 Posted October 23, 2012 Share You laugh about the angle grinder but when i was building my SS bike i forgot one important thing. The smaller/thinner chainring bolts. Only noticed it halfway through the build and it was past 5pm so out came the angle grinder and I ground down 4 std bolts. Worked perfectly no one would notice the difference. All it took was a beer or 2 and I hatched the plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm getting real tired of breaking my back bending down or even squatting to clean/fix/service my bike and don't feel like spending R1k plus on service stand.

Have you tried the good old fashioned "hang the bike off a rope from a rafter trick" when working on it or setting the gears? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
